Rush Creek is an amazing, clean, and safe property located in some of the most pristine wilderness in California. My partner and I always have a wonderful time here and we're so happy it exists! The trails located on the property give guests the opportunity to explore and get some exercise without having to make an additional trip outside of the resort. Staff is also always friendly and helpful!

Fantastic staff, rooms, spa, location, and food. We truly could not have asked for a better experience. The staff is friendly and helpful. Our room, a villa, had amazing views and a beautiful balcony as well as a fireplace, a microwave and mini fridge and fantastic shelves and hooks for our gear. The spa was not large but had many offerings: a sauna, mineral spa, sensory room, etc. The resort is very close to the Yosemite entrance with lots of hiking nearby. The restaurant had a good variety of food, a full bar, and quality ingredients. We can’t wait to return!

Pictures don’t do it justice. Book it, you won’t be sorry.

We enjoyed everything about our stay. The location and amenities are great, our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Every detail had been tended to. They have a great gift shop and general store, we enjoyed all of our meals, and we very much appreciated use of the laundry room. Photos posted by travelers online, and even their own website, just dont do the property justice.

Gorgeous, but make other plans for meals

The good: - Amazing property. Gorgeous, close to the park entrance, and spacious rooms. - Excellent for kids - zip lines, games, pool. - Spa family time is great fun and a unique offering. - Overall, staff is pleasant. Spa and general store staff in particular were great. The not good: - The food is awful, with breakfast and lunch as the worst offenders. I recommend finding the things that can be the least messed up (charcuterie, burrata, grilled cheese). We found the food served at Curry Village to be far superior and affordable, which is really saying something. And it is ridiculously expensive. Interestingly, the special Christmas menu was the best and most interesting- like a completely different chef appeared and made it. - The king beds are so hard. Oddly the twin beds are much more comfortable. - The gas fire as a heater os great aesthetically, but expect a jump scare in the middle of the night when it turns on. - There were often 1-3 items broken in the game room and the pool and/or hot tub out of service. - Some of the morning kids crafts are extremely basic. I wouldn’t rely on those to keep your kids entertained for long at any age. - I found the recreation employees to be very responsive to what you were asking for, but I would have expected them to be a bit more forthcoming with recommendations or probing questions.

We've been to Rush Creek several times before, and we love the experience, the friendly service throughout, the food, and just the overall ambience, and then couple that with the holiday decorations. This was our first time here during the holidays, and it was just a wonderful time!
